Summary
Do you eat as soon as you feel an uncomfortable emotion? Or do you feel it for awhile, but then decide you're done with feeling and you eat to distract from it, numb it, or avoid it?
Now imagine that you were able to just feel the emotion, for as long as it was there, without eating. If you did that, overeating and bingeing for emotional reasons wouldn't happen. So that's what I'm going to help you to do in this episode. Listen in to find out how you're going go build up your emotional endurance so you can feel your emotions for as long as you're feeling them and so you don't end up overeating or bingeing when you feel uncomfortable emotions.

| 0:00.0 | You're listening to the Stop Binge Eating Podcast with Kirsten Sarty episode number 320. |
| 0:06.4 | Welcome to the Stop Binge Eating Podcast. It's time for you to end your food obsession and begin |
| 0:11.9 | feeling confident and in control around food. You are absolutely capable of eliminating |
| 0:17.5 | binge eating from your life. And I'm going to show you how by giving you simple |
| 0:21.2 | tools and insights that you can apply in your own life. I'm your host, Kirst and Sarty. Now let's get to it. |
| 0:29.8 | Hi, today I'm going to talk with you about emotional endurance. For many people, one of the reasons |
| 0:37.0 | why they binge eat and why they overeat is because |
| 0:39.5 | they aren't willing to feel their uncomfortable emotions. They use food as a way to distract from |

| 1:11.6 | they don't want to stop doing it. But if they were willing to feel those uncomfortable |
| 1:17.4 | emotions, then they would be okay with stopping eating and with not eating at all. They'd just |
| 1:24.4 | feel the emotions without trying to distract from them, avoid them, or numb them. |
| 1:29.3 | If they were willing to just feel the emotions, then the overeating and binging just wouldn't |
| 1:34.5 | happen for that reason. So if you are one of those people who is unwilling to feel uncomfortable |
| 1:40.9 | emotions and if you don't want to be eating, overeating, or binging any time you feel |
| 1:46.4 | an uncomfortable emotion, it's important that you work on your emotional endurance. You're probably |
| 1:52.9 | familiar with endurance as it relates to physical activity. So if you have a lot of endurance, |
| 1:57.2 | you can be active for a longer period of time. And it's the same idea for emotional |
